<h1>Analyzing data in an Interactive Bubble Graph widget</h1>
<p class=seealso>An Interactive Bubble Graph widget is a bubble plot that 
 lets you visualize the trends of three different metrics for a set of 
 attribute elements. </p>
<p class=seealso>In the Interactive Bubble Graph: </p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>One bubble is displayed for each attribute element. 
 </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Each bubble’s position on the X-axis represents the 
 value of the first metric. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Each bubble's position on the Y-axis represents the 
 value of the second metric. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>The size of each bubble represents the value of the 
 third metric.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Different groups of attribute elements are displayed 
 as different colored bubbles when an additional attribute is placed above 
 the first three metrics on the columns. For details, see 
<a href="Bubble_widget.htm">Creating 
 an Interactive Bubble Graph widget</a>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p align="center" class="whs2"><img src="images/widget_bubble.gif" width="681px" height="486px" border="0" class="img_whs3"></p>
<p class=seealso>To analyze data in the Interactive Bubble Graph widget:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>To view metric information for a bubble, hover over 
 the bubble. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>To highlight groups of related data in the widget, hover 
 over an item in the graph legend to highlight all bubbles associated with 
 that item.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>To see underlying data within a bubble, click on any 
 of the bubbles. For example, you can drill on a Region bubble (the parent 
 attribute) down to bubbles that represent different cities (child attributes) 
 within that region.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>To see an animation that plots the bubble values through 
 time, move the time slider or click the animation play button.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>If the document contains a grid/graph report or panel 
 stack that is connected to this widget, click a bubble in the graph or 
 an item in the graph legend to display related data in connected grid/graph 
 reports and panel stacks.</p></li>
</ul>
